Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
The lure of paradise was unmistakable, and Bill Butler was on a quest to find it with his wife Simonne-riding the Pacific currents on their sloop. In this powerful account of their 66-day odyssey, Butler tells a gritty, harrowing tale of their battles against nature, despair, and their own demons. He reveals how he and Simonne found the strength to survive despite the ravages of hunger, storms, and sharks. Based on Butler's faithful log entries, 66 Days Adrift is both a chilling cautionary tale for sailors with big ideas and an inspiring story of love, faith, and survival against long odds.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
On a beautiful summer afternoon in 1998, Dan Stephens, a 22-year-old canoeist, was leading a trip deep into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage - and did not return. More than four hours later, Dan awakened from a fall with a lump on his head and stumbled deeper into the woods, confused. Three years later, Jason Rasmussen, a third-year medical student who loved the forest's solitude, walked alone into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a crisp fall day.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75
On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

Mawson plunged through a snow bridge, dangling over an abyss by the sledge harness. A line of poetry gave him the will to haul himself back to the surface. On February 8, when he staggered back to base, his features unrecognizable, the first teammate to reach him blurted out, "Which one are you?"

Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of 12 American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men - who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback - is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

Publisher's Summary
Racked by hunger, buffeted by storms, scorched by the tropical sun, Callahan drifted for 1,800 miles, fighting off sharks with a makeshift spear and watching as nine ships passed him by. "A real human drama that delves deeply into man's survival instincts (Library Journal), Adrift is a story of anguish and horror, of undying heroism, hope, and survival, and a must-read for any adventure lover.
Critic Reviews
"Fascinating...a clearly written ocean yarn in which the stakes are high and a brave man wins through." (Wall Street Journal)

I like to listen to audio books as I do chores around the house, and this book seems to be too mundane even for that. I made it to the chapter where he's rambling on about wanting to bang a fish, but her parents wouldn't approve. I bet the author really loved the movie the shape of water

To test oneself...
...to the limit cannot really be done in a training scenario no matter how serious the situation. It is only when death threatens around every corner that human ingenuity and the will to survive can be truly revealed. Callahan depicts these qualities in graphic brilliance and forces the listener to experience at least a little of what he went through.

Good story but author can't pronounce "dorado"
This is an amateur narration by the author. The story is compelling enough that you can get over it. However it contains the word "dorado" in it hundreds of times. The author pronounces it "door-ay-doh" instead of "door-ah-doh."
I don't know how he could get this wrong. I mean, having no doubt told this story countless times to countless people, has nobody told him he's saying the fish's name wrong? How could this get past post-production with that word pronounced incorrectly so many times?
The rookie narration also made some of the more intense moments lose their flare. We could have had bigger payoffs if someone like Dick Hill or William Dufris read this story. Hubris by the author is what made him narrate this story himself, I imagine. Callahan states he was a fan of survival books previous to getting stranded on a life-raft in the Atlantic. He got his wish and I'm sure regretted it, having suffered a great deal.
All in all, the tale is compelling and certainly worth a listen. But somebody please tell this man how to pronounce "dorado."

Good Listen
What made the experience of listening to Adrift the most enjoyable?
The auther described his surroundings so well you had a mental picture of it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There was only one character which was the sailer.
What about the narrator’s performance did you like?
He read the book calmly but also expressed the excitement of catching a fish, or the overwhelming feeling of helplessness in the current surroundings.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.

An unbelievable story of survival and endurance
I feel privileged for having heard this remarkable story.
Stevens ability to adapt to his new environment and his relentless struggle to push on left me mesmerized and blessed for the simple things we take for granted. Thank you
